Hi all,

I'm in the process of giving away some computers... a local Cleveland Park resident wants one for his daughter, his words were: 

"... she was born with Down Syndrome, yet she communicates via computers very well and has learned to e-mail, download photos and edit, download information she seeks, et cetera. "

No doubt she uses windows at the moment, any thoughts on giving them an Ubuntu box?

Intellectual property can stimulate innovation, so can war... in both cases the negatives don't justify the 'progress'.... In recent times, humanity has spent more effort in producing smaller mp3 players and cell-phones than clean water and sanitation for everybody... isn't it time to reevaluate how we motivate people?
